I loved the NHS. Never had a bit of trouble in the UK and I was in the hospital a couple of times. My son was born in the NHS system and not only did it not cost us anything but we had wonderful care from midwives and doctors. The Aussie system isn’t quite as good, there’s a healthy private insurance industry. But I stay in the public system because I don’t trust insurance companies. And again – wonderful care, efficient, and FREE.

There are so many face-meet-palm moments when reading about these town hall “debates” which actually just consist of hysterical, terrified, uninformed people screaming their heads off about socialism, Russia and death panels. It’s so absurd that I sometimes think it’s a cartoon drawn by Seth MacFarlane or Matt Groening. Can we Room 101 these people, please?

Yea, it is bad. Misinformation anywhere, god forbid we all just get the damn facts without all the fearmongering (especially from “Faux” News). The one thing I am happy about is that they did not slam this through in a hurry (although they tried)…this is a huge bill that most of the politicians themselves said they havent read yet. What!?!?!?! Give the american people REAL information and let them decide and debate. Enough with the labels and chicken little “the sky is falling” tactics. (shhh…dont tell anyone….but we already have a “socialized medecine” programme…it’s called Medicare)
